Audrey sometimes had to get creative with revision. Looking over notes endlessly was incredibly boring, and it wasn't going to make anything sink in further. It wasn't like these exams were especially hard, either, but Audrey wanted to ensure she kept getting excellent grades. Sure, her parents would barely notice, but they would notice if her grades dipped. But it was more that it made her feel good to know her intelligence and dedication to learning was actually being recognised. She desperately didn't want to feel like nobody cared, or they were too busy babying others to notice how good she was. (Audrey thought of Amodeus the Canary Boy hiding behind Teddy and having him get all defensive with a scowl).
But she needed to practice her charms to not just be able to perform them, but perform them well. Trying to fly, hit things and summon them back at the same time was perhaps a bit too much to ask, especially if she missed her hits, but she could do two of those three things at once. She had a ball that was probably used for some sort of muggle sport, her bat, and her wand. Toss the ball up, hit it hard when it came back down, and then summon it back. If she could manage some one-handed hits, then she'd hit the ball right back as she summoned it, though she was trying to focus on controlling the speed and trajectory to make sure she had a decent hit on the ball as well. It was a lot to try and balance, and sometimes it meant the summon spell didn't work perfectly if she was trying to line up her hit, but it was a challenge she was enjoying. She could possibly even hold the bat in both hands, if she did the spell well enough - fling the ball towards her with the initial spell and have enough time to get into a batting stance, like some sort of muggle sport she'd seen pictures of, without having to hold the spell the whole way. Audrey was totally in the zone, barely paying attention to anyone around her as she focused on her practice.
